10 of the Most Amazing Monologues in War Movies
There have been lots of articles on motivational speeches in movies. Many come from sports movies, or even movies that contain war. But I haven’t seen too many articles dedicated to war movies. And quite honestly, there’s some amazing speeches and monologues in war related movies that are worth mentioning.
From Braveheart’s “Freedom” speech to the opening marine scene in Full Metal Jacket, here are 10 of the most amazing monologues in war movies.

Fantastic post. I looked over the cast list for “A Bridge Too Far” and cannot believe I’ve never seen it…
There’s no real coherence to the list. It would make more sense if you limited the list to rousing pre-battle speeches, or to reflections on war, or to some meaningful genre of “War Movie Monologue”
Theodens speech in ROTK before the charge of the Rohirrim was much better than Aragorns. That seemed tacked on to give Viggo something to do.
